Sell Your Instagram Photos Online With Hashpix

Instagram photos have evolved into an art form, and now they have an art dealer.

A site launching Thursday called Hashpix sells prints of Instagram photos on behalf of their creators.

To sell on the site, photographers need to apply. It's starting out by selling selected photos from 12 of the most popular Instagram photographers, who together have more than 800,000 followers on the photo sharing platform.

"Some of these photographers have over 100K social media supporters," says founder Jason Culbertson, who is also the creative director at workplace social network Yammer. "These fans love their photos, and the photographers should be able to make money by continuing to do what they do every day."

Buyers can choose between three sizes of prints that range from $18 to $22. Hashpix takes a 30% cut of profits after printing costs.

Sure, you could just yank a photo from the profile of a photographer you admire and send it to the printing service of your choice. But then you'd be stealing. Hashpix can put Instagram artists' photos on your wall without offending your conscience.
